Once your guide arrives, he or she will greet you, briefly go over logistics, and check that you have signed the waiver. If you haven't signed the waiver for your tour, please do so here. Signing the waiver ahead of time will ensure you get of to a quick start.
Once that's done, you are off to start your tour! Your guide will drive you to the first stop - St. Mary's Glacier - which is about a 1 hour and 15 minute drive.
Throughout the drive, your guide will provide you with commentary about the sights and teach you about the area, including the region's cultural and natural history.
Echo Lake Park is a lovely public park in Evergreen that has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1995. Take a short walk and get your pictures taken around the lake.
You will be on top of the world when you get to the top of Mt. Evans. But don't worry you will not have to hike it, we will be taking the highest paved road to the top where you can enjoy the breathtaking views with minimal effort. Mt. Evans is the highest mountain in the front range at 14, 271 ft. You will be able to see all the way to Kansas(not kidding). This is perfect for individuals who to embrace the serene beauty of Colorado. We will also be taking professional photos with a DSLR camera for all our guests at no additional charge.
Evergreen is a historic and quaint mountain town surrounded by lush forests of Ponderosa Pines, spruce, and fir trees. Enjoy lunch in the crisp mountain air and walk around the adorable downtown shopping area of this bustling community that dates back to 1859.
Lookout Mountain is a foothill of the Rocky Mountains. Its earliest known inhabitants were the Ute tribe of American Indians, who used the mountain as a lookout point for the surrounding region. Here you will be able to walk around various trails at the lookout point and soak in a panorama view of the front range and of Denver.
After enjoying the views and exploring the trails at Lookout Mountain, your guide will drive you back to Denver.
Your tour will end in the same location that you were picked up: at ink! Coffee in downtown Denver.
By the end of the day, you will receive an email with a link to the complementary photos that your guide took throughout your tour. We hope you enjoy the memories!

ACT is proud its team of expert local guides who are the best in the business. Check out our guides page to learn more about our awesome guides, one of which will be leading this tour.
ACT guarantees a 1 to 4 guide to guest ratio. This means that you will have no more that 4 guests total in your vehicle.
There may be up to 12 people on your tour, each group of 4 will be assigned one guide. This keeps the tours very small and personal. Our guests agree that this makes for a much better experience than a tour with a large group!
The weather in Colorado can be very volatile and unpredictable. It changes rapidly and often without warning.
It is not uncommon for the temperatures in the mountains to fluctuate from 10-30 degrees in less than a few hours. Storms roll in quickly and high winds can come out of nowhere. Snow, rain, hail, and lightning are all things you should be prepared for.
Always check the weather in advance of your tour date so that you have the right clothing and can anticipate the conditions. We recommend checking both the Denver, Colorado forecast and the Idaho Springs, Colorado forecast. You will be visiting both locations on this tour and the weather can vary dramatically between Denver and Idaho Springs.
We will never run a tour if it is unsafe due to weather. If we do cancel your tour, you will be notified in advance and offered a full refund or the opportunity to choose a different tour date.
